AdBlue In Diesel

In Staffordshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.
